Environmental Education Center

What is the Environmental Education Center(EEC)?

It is a facility comprising of conference hall, student and teachers accommodation and campsite for students.
The EEC is charged with the responsibility of providing courses for Local, National International and community groups.
It is also tasked with introducing and extending the awareness and knowledge in areas of conservation and environmentalism
to the community at large.

Why Environmental Education in Botswana?

It has been deemed that Wildlife is an important resource for any country and plays a crucial role in the ecosystem. As a result,
an educated citizen would realize the importance of environmentalism and hence preserve the environment at large. Therefore the center has been setup
to educate citizens of Botswana and other internationals at an early age.

The centre has activities that help in educating students in ways that they will enjoy and
remember for the rest of their lives. Students will see and hear about and get close to Botswana’s incredible environment,
that is, the animals, birds, insects, trees, soils and plants. Through these activities and observations the
students will see the inter connection of plants, animals insects soil weather and water in the natural world.
The EEC can accommodate up to 48 students at any given time in the dorms and 6 teachers (24 boys and 24 girls)
There is a campsite facility available but camping equipment is not provided.
